I just ate a delicious cupcake... for science... to test this theory.  Its true.  


SCIENCE! 

I feel that it's my responsibility to verify your study by replicating it and seeing if I get the same results. 

One of the first things I learned in my methods class in grad school is that good research is repeatable..

I did think of more to say. Because of her ridiculousness she is now going to learn that after you start gaining and losing significant amounts of weight it messes with your metabolism so she's going to have a much harder time staying thin than she did before she began all this foolishness. And to that I say Ha Ha.

I was coming in to say this. Your body remembers...so have fun losing that much weight and keeping it off. 

What a dumbshitattentionwhoretryingtostayrelevant. How about lets play another game where you get to have thyroid problems and your body doesn't understand what a calorie is anymore?

Anyway. Bless her heart.

This lady is nuts, and always has been. She is the one who went off on naming your children certain names and how it makes them trashy, including location names, and then couldn't defend herself when the tv host was like 'wait, isn't your daughter named india?". She claimed that didn't count.

You beat me to it, but I was thinking of this same story.

She's obnoxious and just looking for a way to stay relevant. One of those, any publicity is good publicity types.

6500 calories a day might make me cry, too. Unless it was a rare thing. That's a lot of food or at least really, really junky food. I'd feel like shit too.

But it's taken me almost 6 years to gain the 50lbs I've gained, and I'd wager most of those days I've eaten no more than 2000-2500 calories. With some exception for really fun days Does she not understand that people don't gain that kind of weight overnight?

This seems an appropriate place to mention that I just touched down in Austin and am about to go STUFF MY FACE WITH TACOS.

Oohh! Where?

If it was that easier I wouldn't have had weight loss surgery last month. And if it IS that easy Katie - then why have I not lost one ounce in the last 2 weeks eating 500** calories a day? Huh Katie?

grrrrrrrr mad

** I am supposed to get 400-600 calories per day in the part of the recovery from surgery

clearly you need to just TRY HARDER and stop making excuses. Duh!

[katietornado]

We talked about her a little while back. I feel like this woman is just a disgusting AW and we should ignore her.

Well she can sure lose weight but fixing her ugly personality isn't going to be nearly so easy.

I had lunch at Veracruz. Tonight is unknown. Torchy's is on the itinerary.

So sorry I won't have time to meet you! The whole weekend is spent doing wedding stuff (and eating tacos).

Well, she cried, you see, as she ate the cupcakes and shit.

Which is clearly bullshit, because it's not actually possible to cry while eating a delicious cupcake. 

Tears of joy. She was crying tears of pure joy at finally eating that cupcake

[jigsy]

Does it make me a bad person to hope that the crazy shit she is doing to her body fucks up her metabolism to the point that, gasp, eating less and moving more doesn't mean losing weight!

Well fuck her in the face with a corncob.

Seriously, HOW are you so funny?!

[mrsukyankee]

I will say that women in England think she's a fucking bitch as well. She's one of those celebrities who wasn't getting much work so she needed the publicity. See you next Tuesday is all I can say.

Things I've eaten in the last 48 hours:

Friday lunch: one chicken taco, one beef taco, both with tomato, cheese, and avocado with amazing salsas. The flour tortillas were some of the best I've ever had. So thick. So fluffy.

Friday dinner: Thai food truck - beef panang curry with fried egg on top, some fried chicken and rice dish where I learned to eat rice with my fingers ( we had a utensil shortage), and pork shoulder with sticky rice. Detroit style pizza food truck - double pepperoni pizza and prosciutto/pear/balsamic pizza.

Saturday breakfast: migas breakfast taco, egg and steak breakfast taco, and egg and brisket breakfast taco.

Saturday breakfast dessert: giant fresh donut topped with cream cheese frosting and melted cinnamon sugar.

Saturday late afternoon snack: fried avocado taco, chips and queso.

Saturday dinner: smoked turkey, smoked sausage, mac and cheese, coleslaw.

Saturday dessert: plum cobbler, apple cake, pineapple cake, brownie (they were mini desserts).

Sunday brunch: chicken fried steak and waffles, half eaten with white gravy and half eaten with maple syrup.

YES. TO ALL.

Was the donut Gordough's?

[schitzengiggles]

As somebody who was overweight as a kid/teen, and obese in much of her 20's...and is now more "fit" ( (not amazingly fit, but I'm proud of where I'm at)...this woman is a bitch.

YES. I'm staying like right next to it. I may go back tomorrow.

It was basically an orgasm in my mouth.

[josieposy]

LOL @ "orgasm in my mouth."

I'm 13 years old.

I saw this and it made me sad. There is a great book called "Why We Get Fat" by Gary Taubes. It geeks out in the first half about how our body metabolizes carbs and how genetics play a huge role in our ability to gain or lose weight, and how/where we store weight that we do gain. It is SOOOOO much more complicated than "move more, eat less".

Bottom line: it might be a breeze for her to gain and lose 50 pounds. That does not mean it is a breeze for someone who is at a genetic "disadvantage". By simplifying it down to "eat less, move more" and implying that her experiment is proof that "anyone can do it" just illustrates her ignorance to me.

I am a very healthy eater. I exercise a lot. I run half marathons. I'm healthy, but I'm not super skinny (nor will I ever be unless I completely stopped eating carbs, drinking wine, etc). I was a size 4 in my mid-twenties and I couldn't eat ANYTHING, even running 20 miles per week I couldn't eat anything and maintain that weight. Now I am a size 10 or so and still have to keep a food diary despite a healthy workout regimen. I'm at a genetic disadvantage (my mom, sister, and grandmother all have to work hard to maintain a healthy weight) and know that I am. It stinks, but it is what it is. I have friends who will admit that they can eat ANYTHING and be super slim. I have one friend who struggles because she is underweight... she doesn't exercise and eats whatever she wants and is still 100 pounds soaking wet. **shrugs**

This woman sucks.

[furby]

Katie Hopkins is desperately trying to cling on to her 'career' in media by saying the most controversial things she can think of. It's how she makes her living and she is universally loathed over here.

It's sad really. For someone who claims to be a business woman she has made a name for herself that is synonymous with 'idiot.' She's no role model for her children and portrays herself as a massive bitch. If the press ignored her, she'd have to go away, but they do love a villain.

She wants to get people riled up. Don't let her win. Pity the stupid woman who will leave a legacy like this behind her. I don't think she believes what she says, just spouts ridiculous nonsense for attention.

Signed: a Brit who has put on and lost 50lbs more times than she's said controversial shit.
